WARDROBE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 631,525, dated August 22, 1899.

' Application filed June 53, 1898. Serial No. 684,314. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN ERNEST KENNEDY, merchant, of the city of Montreal, in the county of Hochelaga, in the Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Wardrobes, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in wardrobes; and the object of the invention is to design a form of wardrobe more particularly applicable for stores for ready-made garments, whereby storage-space may be economized, classification of size and price facilitated, and time saved in selling and handling the "oods and it consists,essentially, of

a wardrobe each section of which is provided with extension tubes or rods, the uppermost of each set being carried by the frame and the lower being suspended by suitable carriers from the upper tube.

Figure 1 is a sectional perspective view of portion of a wardrobe-case constructed in accordance with my invention, showing the extensible rods in position in the wardrobe and the door closed. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the door open and the extensible rods drawn forth. Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the extensible rods.

In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

A is the top of the wardrobe, B the back, and C the front upright separating the doors of the wardrobe.

D is the front top board, and E the door.

F is the top tube, which is supported on the back B by the bracket G, the end of which extends into the tube, and on the top front board by the bracket H, which extends into the tube.

F is the tube situated next below the tube. F and supported thereon by the carrier-brackets I and I, which are suitably brazed or otherwise connected to the lower tube F. The

bracket I is preferably provided with grooved rollers t 0 j ournaled therein at the top and bottom of the tube F. The bracket I is provided with av single grooved roller i, resting on the tube F.

F is the undermost tube, which is provided with carrier-brackets J J, suitably secured at the bottom to the tube F The bracket J has journaled in it at the top suitable rollers j, which are designed to run on the tube F. The bracket J has suitably journaled in it at the top the grooved roller j, which is designed to run upon the tube F. The end of the tube F is provided witha stop-collar and handle f, and the end of the tube F has socured to it a stop-collarf.

It will be noticed on reference to Fig. 3 that when the tubes are extended the bracket 1' and roller thereon are stopped by the bracket H and the bracket J and roller are stopped by the stop-collar f, so that when the tubes are extended out to their fullest extent the tube F is practically entirely outside the compartment of the wardrobe altogether. Such tube F is designed to receive and hold suitable garment-supporters, from which anumber of garments may be hung.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. The combination with the wardrobe, of a tube or rod having fixed supports for the same in the frame of the wardrobe above the level of the door or opening, a second tube depending from the fixed tube and having the outer end free, and supported at the inner end and intermediately of its length by depending brackets from the fixed tube, so that itmay be s1id out approximately half its length beyond the outer end of the fixed tube,

and a third tube depending from the second tube and having its outer end free and supports at its inner end and intermediate of its length connected to the second tube whereby it may he slid out approximately half its length and substantially beyond the end of the fixed tube and front of the wardrobeas specified.

2. The combination with thewardrobe, of

0nd tube and a stop at the outer free end, the and held together in their drawn position as intermediate bracket secured to the lowerspecified. most tube and hztvin an upward extension 7 T 1 T 1 v1 1 1 1 r and roller supported on the second tube and JOID LRL REL NEDX' 5 a further upward extension supported on the \Vitnesses:
